James will be giving a short demo of the game he's currently crafting; Wee Boats, starring Beffen. With lots of cool open-source tools to highlight
Summary
Wee Boats is a small game about exploring a world full of little surprises and secrets. We chatted about the tools that are used for making the game and the value of open source tools over propretiery options in the game making space.
Tools Used
Bevy Engine - Bevy is a Rust based game engine that is powering Wee Boats.
